Living in New York for 6 years Trader Joe’s became my go-to for groceries. Since I was there so often and loved their food products, I found myself venturing into some of their beauty products. Some may not know, but Trader Joe’s does have a line of their beauty products and also carries some brands you are all familiar with. So don’t skip past the beauty section, it’s a small but mighty section!
St. Ives Mixing Bar!
Last week I had the pleasure of visiting the St. Ives pop up mixing bar. It was such a great experience, and I need you all to put it on your summer list. Who doesn’t love a customized face scrub to target your personal needs? You can get all of this for just $12, and this jar will last you months! Once you enter, it’s a very interactive experience from the beginning. You have the option to pick a lotion or a face scrub.
I opted to get the face scrub but will be back for the body lotion.
Holiday Gift Guide!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! That’s right it’s the month of giving and we only have a couple of weeks left to get those gifts off your list. I thought it would be great to put together a gift guide for that foodie lover in your life and or makeup Junkie. This week I am partnering with one of my girlfriends Janelle (Follow her on Instagram) who is a LOVER of beauty. This girl slays on a daily and has an impressive makeup collection. We both share our obsession with beauty and are constantly sharing tips with each other. So here we are to bring you your holiday gift guide for the foodie and beauty addict in your life. Let us take the stress out of thinking of what gifts to get everyone. I know the holidays can really put you on a budget, but not to worry we are offering you some items that won’t burn a hole in your pocket. If money isn’t an issue we have got you covered as well with items that you can splurge on.
Top 10 Beauty Esstentials
I am the WORST at packing for trips! Somehow I always leave it to the last-minute and always end up over packing. I have mastered the art of packing the essentials when it comes to beauty. Whether it is a short trip or long trip, carry on or checked luggage I always make sure I have these items with me. I’m not saying I only pack 10 beauty items (if that’s you please share your list, because that is still impossible for me at this time), but I always make sure I have these 10 items with me.
